Jonathan David's first-half goal is cancelled out by Dusan Vlahovic's second-half penalty as Juventus rescue a draw away at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the Champions League.
Substitute scores twice in second-half at San SiroHarry Kane on target as Bayern Munich win 5-0 Piotr Zielinski converted two penalties for Inter as they played out a thrilling 4-4 draw with Juventus, for whom Kenan Yildiz scored a late brace, in Serie A on Sunday. The five-goal opening half began with Marcus Thuram earning a penalty, which Zielinski converted to give Inter the lead after 15 minutes. Juve equalised five minutes later through Dusan Vlahovic and then took the lead with a strike from Timothy Weah, all within a six-minute span. After Henrikh Mkhitaryan equalised for Inter in the 35th minute, Zielinski scored his second from the penalty spot just two minutes later, handing Inter a 3-2 lead going into the break.

José Mourinho's Fenerbahce side drew 1-1 with Manchester United at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in the Europa League. The home side equalised thanks to a Youssef En-Nesyri header after Christian Eriksen's opener. But Mourinho stole the show as he was sent off for protesting when he thought Fenerbahce should have been awarded a penalty. Speaking after the game, he said: 'If any club in England from the bottom of the table needs a coach in two years, I'm ready to go, and I don't want to say anything more about it.'

Christian Eriksen's goal was not enough to hand Manchester United victory over Fenerbahce in the Europa League as Youssef En-Nesyri ensured Jose Mourinho's side shared the spoils
Manchester United claimed a draw against Fenerbahce in the Europa Conference League as Christian Eriksen's goal was cancelled out by Youssef En-Nesyri and Jose Mourinho was sent off
Fenerbahce manager was sent off in Europa League draw‘I congratulate him because he is absolutely incredible’ José Mourinho sarcastically described Clément Turpin as “one of the best referees in the world”after the Fenerbahce manager was sent off in his side’s 1-1 draw with former club Manchester United. Mourinho was shown a red card after protesting when he thought his side should have had a penalty during the second half after Youssef En-Nesyri had cancelled out Christian Eriksen’s opening goal. He watched the rest of the match from the stands but revealed afterwards that he had been to see Turpin to ask about his dismissal. Continue reading...
It just had to be about him. Almost six years after being sacked by Manchester United, José Mourinho was shown a red card against his former employers for protesting when he thought his Fenerbahce side should have been awarded a penalty. But he still saw them rescue a point thanks an equaliser from Youssef En-Nesyri after they had fallen behind to Christian Eriksen’s opener. The result – a third straight draw in this competition – leaves Erik ten Hag’s side sandwiched between Viktoria Pilzen and Elfsborg in the playoff positions of the Europa League on a night when the Dutchman had strangely decided to play Noussair Mazraoui in an unusual attacking role. The United manager will point to a vastly improved performance from a team who had conceded 17 goals in their last five away matches in Europe, although it could have been worse had Mourinho’s pleas not been ignored. Having lost 3-0 here under Sir Alex Ferguson back in 2004, at least United emerged relatively unscathed this time – unlike their old employee. Continue reading...
Rasmus Højlund’s winner was a strike of certifiable skill and will bring a calmer vibe to Erik ten Hag and his troubled Manchester United after they claimed three points for the first time since the defeat of Southampton in mid-September. On 62 minutes Brentford were pinned back by their right corner flag. The ball was claimed, Christian Eriksen slid a pass to Bruno Fernandes, and his no-look flick to Højlund was as sweet as the striker’s deft dink over Mark Flekken as Brentford’s visiting goalkeeper went to ground.

The success of Luis de la Fuente with Spain and Lionel Scaloni with Argentina may boost Lee Carsley's hopes of landing the England job.
It was little late and a little lucky too, but the European champions did eventually get the goal that completed their homecoming. Kasper Schmeichel had resisted for 79 minutes but then almost out of nowhere, Martín Zubimendi, the man Liverpool couldn’t convince and whose coach calls the second best midfielder in the world after the man he came to replace, hit a volley that squirmed through the hands of the Denmark keeper and into the net. Just when it seemed that they wouldn’t get a goal to go with the Henri Delaunay trophy, 29,870 people erupted in Murcia, the party ending rather well after all. Twenty-four shots it had taken, a deflection too, but Spain had defeated Denmark to go top of the group and mark the occasion with a victory that had looked like it might evade them. Schmeichel had made five saves until then, two of them one-on-ones with Álvaro Morata, but ultimately carried some of the responsibility for defeat on a night when Denmark had their moments. And yet while there was a period here when it felt like the game might drift into a draw with which they would have probably been satisfied, the selección did get the win they deserved.

Manchester United are unlikely to offer a new contract to Christian Eriksen - and he's already been offered a three-year deal at Ajax which could come into effect soon
Christian Eriksen is no longer the regular he once was at Manchester United and was linked with a summer exit as his contract continues to wind down after three years at the club
Spain captain experienced depression and panic attacks‘You have another person inside that you have to fight’ Álvaro Morata says he has experienced depression and panic attacks as a result of being a professional footballer, to the point that he feared he would not be able to play in the European Championship last summer. Spain won the tournament in style, beating England in the final, with Morata the captain and focal point of Luis de la Fuente’s attack. But the 31-year-old says he has suffered as a result of the consistent criticism he has received during his career and became “embarrassed” to be seen in the street with his children. Continue reading...
Marco Silva has successfully redesigned his team after losing his key midfielder and now sit in sight of Europe Fulham were widely expected to regress this season. As much as they tried to prolong it, they lost the very public battle of retaining João Palhinha, the important cog in their midfield opting to sign for Bayern Munich in the summer. Adding to the challenges, they have not had a reliable goalscorer since Aleksandar Mitrovic’s departure a year earlier and lost several first-team players in the past transfer window. Yet early results have dispelled concerns of a decline. Fulham sit sixth in the Premier League – up from 11th at this stage last season. The departure of Palhinha posed a unique challenge: try to replace an irreplaceable player or adapt without him. Marco Silva opted for the latter. Without their midfield destroyer, the manager has pushed Fulham higher up the pitch, now deploying the fifth-highest defensive line in the league, behind only Manchester City, Brighton, Tottenham and Arsenal (Fulham ranked 17th last season).
